General Discussion / Re: Factory visit tomorrow, several questions.

« on: May 06, 2019, 10:03:21 pm »

Thanks for all the info. 

Another question-. Bilstein shocks.  I'm not sure they do this.  It seems most of what I've seen on this forum is people add these later.  Should I just go ahead and get them, if PC will put them on?  Or wait to see if needed? The Safety plus steering stablizer is on my list.

While at the factory today, I noticed the power towers seemed to be closer to the faucet than the one I saw a few weeks back.  I think it will work, but is on my double check list for my next visit.(probably in a day or two)

I really like the look and what I think is more useable space with the Corian covered stove.  Since I only clean under mine probably once or twice a year, removing a couple of screws to do that seems ok.  Interesting about the "drain" to the silverware drawer! I think I've only had liquid go down mine 2 or 3 times in 10 years of full timing, so hopefully I won't have to double wash my silverware often. 

Several of my items are not PC options,  but since they say they can do just about anything it doesn't hurt to ask. 

Having adjustable shelves in the shirt closets is one of my other add ons. I have a long list!

While looking at an RV built for a customer, I saw they added a Corian lip to the shelf behind the toilet, which I really liked.  Everytime I see these RVs, I get more ideas.

I was asked to come up with a list of questions that they could not answer today.  So I will be sending a list for the engineer to answer. Once I get the answers to these questions, I'll be able to figure out what to do.

Thanks again for your help!

General Discussion / Factory visit tomorrow, several questions.

« on: May 05, 2019, 04:52:05 pm »

I am currently sitting in my RV not far from the PC factory reviewing my notes and many discussions on this forum. I have an appt at the PC factory tomorrow.   I'm still thinking a new PC, probably a 2552 extended.  I might ask them about a 2351 extended 3 feet, but I'm guessing that might be too much.

I like the looks of the Corian covered stove more than the current glass covered stove.  It looks like the Corian covered one will hold a bigger pot on the larger of the 2 burners than the smaller glass covered one.   I am aware of the knob melting if using a pot too large on the smaller burner.  I was told in Oct they could install the older type of stove if I wanted it.  I believe the older stove is unsealed, meaning I will have to occasionally clean under the stove top.  Is this easy to do?  I currently have an Atwood stove/oven so am used to cleaning under it.  But it isn't inset like the PC one.   Any other issues with this older style stove?

For anyone with a new (2019?) model that has the power tower in the kitchen, is it in the way when pushed down?  I looked at some of the PCs in Jacksonville  at Camper's Inn and thought it might be in the way since the counter space is so small. I was thinking about asking if they could move this to the other side of the sink.

In my Lazy Daze I have a window behind the passenger seat.  When driving I sometimes  look out that window, especially at intersections where the angle is odd and I can't see far down the road I'm turning onto. .  How do you handle not being able to see.  Can a super wide angle mirror help?    Will side cameras show down the road or do they only help for what is immediately beside the RV.   (Sorry having problems describing actual problem)

I'm not a DIYer, so plan on getting PC to do several things that others might do themself.  Shelves above bed, cabinet behind passenger seat with no shelves (to be used for coats &jackets), shield between batteries  & tires..  I've learned a lot from this group so thanks to all who are in this group for some great ideas!

I'm in the area for 2 weeks so I'm sure I'll have more questions soon.

By the way, I hit 100,000 miles on my Lazy Daze on Saturday.     If I do this I hope it will be as good as my LD (or close).

Thanks,
Pam

Thanks for the info! 

I'm still looking at the pros and cons of both Lazy Daze and PC.  I think I'm headed back to the PC factory in early May. Then hopefully I will be ready to make my decision!

General Discussion / Re: Ford warranty issue on new coach

« on: March 25, 2019, 04:14:53 pm »

Since I full-time, I end up having to get service all over the country.  So I use the 1-800 Ford number once or twice a year.  I have learned several things about calling them. 
-. Get 2 or 3 places from them.  Once I was given a name and number of a Ford dealer that I  tried to contact, with no success.  I later learned they had closed 2 years before.  I found it hard to understand why Ford didn't know a Ford dealership was closed!
-. Even if they say a particular dealer can work on RVs, they may no longer do it.  Or they may only do minor repairs and maintenance. Or as already mentioned, they may only handle certain sizes.
- I've heard they will make the appointment. I prefer talking to the dealer myself to verify they can do what I need done.

General Discussion / Any full timers out there? Or long timers?

« on: March 19, 2019, 08:58:39 pm »

Is anyone in this group a full-time RVer?  If not full time, maybe half time?

I'm wondering how things hold up after long term use?  I've been full-timing almost 10 years in a Lazy Daze and am planning on getting a new RV. I have 99,500 miles on my 2008 LD.   I think I'm down to a PC (2552?) or another Lazy Daze. 

Thanks, Pam

We didn't discuss warranty, but I did ask about maintenance.   I was told that no maintenance  was needed unless it broke.

I rode in the PC with liquid springs at the Hershey RV show.  Hopefully they will be at the Tampa show in the PC booth for you to test.  I am also thinking about ordering in a few months and I don't think I will go with that option.  They definitely made a difference.  The Liquid Springs salesman  drove and took corners extremely fast (scary fast).  The PC handled the quick turns amazingly well but I've lived without them for 10 years in my Lazy Daze and don't feel like the cost justifies the need for them.  I may change my mind, but for now that is at bottom of my wish list.

General Discussion / Wardrobe in 2552 (or 2551 or 3100)

« on: November 25, 2018, 04:32:53 pm »

Can anyone tell me how wide and deep the wardrobe in the bathroom is for the standard floorplan (bathroom size not modified)?  I am thinking about a 2552, but I believe it is the same size in the 2551 and 3100. 

I have been full timing for 9.5 years in my Lazy Daze and am trying to figure out if I will have enough storage!

Thanks!
Pam
